Aida is such a professional person. Anytime I have a question large or small she makes time for me and make me feel welcome and taken care of. She has a great reputation in the city as one of the up and coming young attorneys to watch for. She is intelligent as she is hard working but her greatest quality, I have found is her willingness to help and make a positive impact on the life of everyone she meets. I am very happy to be a client of hers and I am very lucky to have an attorney that I know I can trust! Thank you Aida!!!
